Your search - "exoatmospheric thrill vehicle" - did not match any documents.

I find that hard to believe.

I never told the story about Janet taking Theo to Mexico. When they tried to board the plane the airline wouldn't let them, saying Janet needed a notarized letter from Bruno, the father, stating that Janet could take her child out of the country! Needless to say they missed their flight.

Apparently this has something to do with entry into Mexico, rather than being an airline policy. Still, it's strange I had never heard of this. Seems like something the airlines might want to mention when you book the flight.

They eventually made it. I'll get the full story when they get home.

Occasionally in the morning we'll wake up and MB will open the laptop and surf the web some. This was one of the ideas behind getting that machine. She still uses OS 9 for working (thanks for nothing quark,) but this gives her a little time in OS X. And a little aimless surfing time which is what you need to really get comfortable on the web.

I think news.google.com convinced her that this all might turn out to be useful. I'll bet that's the case for a lot of people. Makes reading any one newspaper rather silly.

Anyway, when this happens I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do. Make the coffee. Clean up any leftover dishes. Maybe make the bed. I've gotten more conscientious about such things in my new homemaker phase. But still, it's hard for me not to check right in first thing.

Luckily I can fall back on my sidekick. I can't wait until the power of my laptop is the size of this phone. Shouldn't be too many years. Three? Keyboard and display (input and output) are going to become the real issues. How do we shrink these things?

I cooked dinner again last night. That's four times this past week, which is quite a change. Very satisfying. And it's hard to beat the price. I'm going to try to keep this up. It feels healthy. Mentally. I'll probably start wishing for a garden soon. Somebody stop me....
